Скачать или смотреть Extremist Islamists rally in Pakistan for death sentence for Christian woman

(12 Oct 2018) Hundreds of supporters from an extremist Islamist party have rallied on Friday across Pakistan to pressure judges to uphold a death sentence for a Christian woman convicted of blasphemy.
Asia Bibi has been on death row since 2010 after she was convicted of insulting Islam's Prophet Muhammad.
Activists from the Tehreek-e-Labbaik party were seen chanting,"the only punishment for someone who insults Prophet Muhammad is death", as they marched through the streets of Karachi and Islamabad on Friday.
Pakistan's Supreme Court earlier this week postponed ruling on her final appeal and her lawyers are hopeful of an acquittal arguing she was falsely accused.
That has angered Islamists who want her to be publicly hanged.
Bibi's first appeal was dismissed by a Lahore High Court in 2014, but the Supreme Court stayed her execution in 2015.
